Padlet for Education

Padlet is a digital tool that can help teachers and students in class and beyond by offering a single place for a notice board. That's at its most basic. This digital notice board is able to feature images, links, videos, and documents, all collated on a "wall" that can be made public or private. This means that not only can teachers post on the wall but so too can students. Since the interactive space is easy to use and easily accessible from nearly any web browser-capable device, it's a great resource for teachers and students. (Credit: teachinglearning.com)
